The atmosphere within a swimming pool is highly corrosive. Even high grade stainless steel will corrode in such environments. Dampers will seize up and replacement will become inevitable in some cases after only 18 months of operation. Konvekta recognised the problem and developed the K5-PVC corrosive resistant damper in the late 1980's. The damper was purpose built incorporating a PVC case, ABS gears and specially treated blades. The blade treatment was selected following extensive testing of blade coatings. The pool damper has been successfully installed in many new and refurbishment projects, including Ponds Forge sports and leisure complex in Sheffield. The damper has also been used in the pharmaceutical and process industry for companies such as Wellcome foundation, Ciba Giegy and Pfizer's. To develop the range of uses within these industries the product has evolved into the K500-PVC. This incorporates an extruded PVC double skinned casing and extruded PVC aerofoil blade, extending the applications for this product.
